What a beautiful moment 🤘🏽

I’m back baby, with another list of amazing names from the shelter.

I don’t have a relatable picture, I have a story. Here’s a picture of the sun setting, I took this a few days after I was released from being an inmate at the hospital.

For about 2 years now, I’ve been feeling ill. I’ve been going to my doctor who will not stop prescribing me antibiotics. He refuses to send me to a specialist. Sadly I hope his malpractice is brought to light.

About four months ago, I started getting a low grade fever. It was constant, every time I checked my temperature it was a fever. I was living off Advil to function.

About 2 months ago, I started getting migraines. These migraines have progressed to visual ones, where Advil does not work.

I went to the ER 3 times in the last two months because my pain and migraines were unbearable, I could not keep food down. I was told I have migraines the first time, got a CT scan the second time and was told again it’s just migraines, third time I was told to take Advil with Tylenol.

About a month ago I went through something traumatic and all my symptoms worsened 10x. I had new symptoms that scared me.

In a desperate act, I called my dentist and told them about my migraines and severe jaw and neck pain. They were not open on the weekends, so I got my dentists number and she kept in touch, asked me questions and got me to see her immediately.

I saw her today and I can’t stop crying. Because I’m relieved.

I have not slept in 3 weeks, this is the first time I have been able to take a nap.

She assessed my mouth, did some tests, put a piece of cotton in my mouth, towards my front teeth and told me to bite down on it there. She left for about 20 minutes.

When she came back, she took the cotton from my mouth and my jaw was uncontrollably shaking for about 10 minutes. She explained to me she needs to do X-rays, is going to make me a new mouth guard, and prescribed me muscle relaxers. She told me she thinks my body is so stressed to the point it’s overworking itself. It explains my fever, my pain, my headaches and migraines.

I took the relaxants today with a small dose of seroquel and I FINALLY slept. About a 5 hour nap. I don’t feel completely rested but I am so relieved.

I never thought my dentist would save me. Bless people in the healthcare system who have a pure heart. I am so grateful.

Happy Tuesday and greetings from Los Angeles!

The world works in mysterious ways.Today, about 2 hours ago, as my coworker and I were driving back to the office, we came across him. He was in the middle of the road.

We stopped, assessed, and there were clear signs poor baby was having a heat stroke. THEN I SEE THIS LITTLE ANGEL IS BLIND. Completely blind. Lost. Malnourished. Alone. My heart shattered.

We asked neighbors around and they said they have seen him wandering around, Confirming he is a homeless dog.

Anyways, on our way to the vet. Meet my new baby boy Smokey 🖤 I’m here to protect you now.

Here's a video I wanted to share with you which includes Tyler Posey singing his song This Mess in 2016. I hope you guys enjoy!
